Shame we didn't get gold in 2011. We had everything to win there. Pavelec in great form, Židlický, Eliáš, Jágr, Plekanec... We win everything there and lost only game with Sweden in SF.
I loved the 2011 team... So funny because 2010 team only won about half their games and got gold. 2011 wins almost everything and gets bronze. I loved the 2012 team too.
 
Wh
Hronek, as I said in the previous post "(Only Hronek I would have higher in this regard, very excited for Filip, hopefully he gets to play)"
I think Hronek is currently the most skilled D from the Czech Republic. Which is sad considering he's a 20 years old playing in the AHL.
More concerning is that sulak was a healthy scratch in the AHL playoffs.
 
He was injured I think.

Maybe but that would be strange. The game was last night and he didn't suit up but he can fly to Europe and be ready for the World Championships on Saturday afternoon?

He was supposed to get his teeth in the mouth. And he did not play.

Where would you rank Hajek?
 
Even team USA looks very solid on the paper this year. I'm sure they'll score lot of goals. Gaudreau, Kane ... :thumbu:

That's right. He had sixteen stitches and lost some teeth. But I don't think we need to worry, Fischer knows the situation well in Detroit, so we can assume he is ready.

Also with Hronek and Šulák arrival, one defenseman from current team is going to be cut, we will travel to Copenhagen with 3 G, 9 D and 15 F. And Mozík is definitely out for WHC.

2012 was good too, our last medal. It was also last WHC where Krejčí and Hemský played for us. I also like the 2013 team on paper, who knows what happened there. We should have been much better.
 
What about Radim Šimek? I doubt that San Jose Sharks will call him up for the Playoffs. And Jandač wants him so much af far as I know.
They working on it. It's all about San Jose as far as I know. It's unlikely they will call him up, like you said, but he is still under contract there.
 
So is Hyka in Vegas, isn´t he?
Indeed. Like I said, it's all about San Jose. If they allow it, then he will come like Hyka, but if they don't, then he will not. He is under contract there, so he must obey their decision, whatever it will be.

Hyka is in different situation. Vegas doesn't really need him, they have other Fs on the depth chart.

Sharks allowed Rudolf Balcers to play in Denmark for team Latvia who is top scorer in their farm team.
 
Martin Pláněk is the one who was cut. Which mean Gudas, Hronek, Jordán, Moravčík, Musil, Polášek, Pyrochta, Sklenička and Šulák are defensemen for WHC.

Update: There is possibility Jakub Krejčík will play at WHC, his injury is getting better. He is on today practice with team.

I notice that you update page 1 of this everytime with all the updates. Great job.

Will we be doing predictions before the tournament starts Friday?
 
Practice line-up today
Francouz ( Rittich, Hrachovina)
Jordán - Gudas
Moravčík - Sklenička
Šulák - Polášek
Pyrochta - Hronek
Musil - Krejčík
Červenka - Faksa - Hyka
Jaškin - Nečas - Nestrašil
Kubalík - Plekanec - Řepík
Kousal - Horák - Šťastný
Chytil - Hanzl - Kaut

Hanzl is still not 100% healthy, it seems he won't be okay at Slovakia.
And Šimek didn't pass medical checkup, this is the problem with him. But he should try it again later, so there is still some hope.

Thanks. I wanted it more organized in one post at page 1, then everywhere on 16 pages.

And what predictions do you mean?

Bunch of Czech and World Championships fans on here... thought we could lay out how we think the Czechs will do and who we think the medalists will be before the tourney begins.
